In July 1944, the OSS published a "mail order" style catalogue that described and pictured each piece of specialized equipment available to the secret agent - from deadly, bullet-firing cigarettes and cameras hidden in matchboxes to compact explosives called "moles". Highly unorthodox, yet extremely effective, these weapons were produced by American Intelligence during the last year of the war for operatives behind enemy lines, and consist of some of the most innovative and sometimes deadly devices ever created. Every weapon has the original OSS descriptions, accurate illustrations and rare photographs, showing why these highly effective instruments have had a lasting effect on the world of clandestine warfare ever since.

Within the city, crisis and turmoil are an everyday, every second occurrence. When ordinary means of law enforcement are not an option, there is a group that is called upon to dole out justice to those that believethey are above the law. This highly-regarded and specially trained unit is SWAT. In SWAT 4, you are the element leader of an authentic Special Weapons and Tactics team within the big city where danger looms large.

The catalogue gives a concise overview of the Russian most important land weapon systems and munitions listed in the following sections: armour; missile and artillery; engineer vehicles; infantry weapons; special weapons.
